Legend Hotel Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City held a Christmas party at the hotel for physically challenged children in the city.

The party was held on December 20 at the hotel's Grand Ballroom for 65 children from HoangMaiCenter, a shelter that has taken care of children with disabilities for over 15 years.

Children got into the festive spirit with good food and live entertainment including balloon twisting and a magic show.

Each child also received a gift, besides the VND15 million donation given to the center. Part of the money and gifts came from funds saved by not sending printed seasonal greeting cards, hotel officials said.
